The new SeedStar XP monitoring system from John Deere puts more real-time information at the fingertips of the planter operator for better seed placement and field efficiency.
The GreenStar 2 compatible SeedStar XP features a full-feature, full-color touch-screen monitor, or it can be integrated with a producer's existing GreenStar 2 display to reduce accessories in the cab. The system is supported by a series of row-unit sensors and downforce sensors configured to the specific model of the planter.
In addition to the original SeedStar 2 monitoring system the XP features seed singulation and space monitoring, row-unit downforce monitoring and adjustment, row-unit ride quality monitoring, overall row-unit and planter performance monitoring, and split-screen applications for planting and guidance.
The new GreenStar 2 compatible SeedStar XP system from John Deere makes on-the-go planter adjustments easy for optimal seed placement. The SeedStar XP is available on select 2011 model year John Deere planters including, the 1770NT, 1770NT CCS, 1790 and DB Series planters, and is fully integrated with other Ag Management System products used for planting, such as Swath Control Pro for planters, GreenStar AutoTrac assisted steering and Apex farm management software.
